Argentine Vice-President Boudou charged in corruption case
Argentine Vice-President Amado Boudou has been charged in a corruption case.
Mr Boudou is suspected of using his influence when he was economy minister to ensure that a contract to print Argentina's currency was awarded to a company he allegedly controlled.
Earlier this month, he was questioned for more than seven hours by a judge, in a closed-door court session.
If convicted, he faces up to six years in jail. He denies any wrongdoing and has rejected calls to step down.
